What Colleagues Say

Former Assistant United States Attorney and Civil Litigator

“He’s thoughtful. He’s tactical. He’s strategic. He’s a scholar. He’s a true academic. What Ezra understands is what laws were designed to accomplish. Give Ezra any rule, any statute, and he’ll figure out how that rule, or that statute, or that law was tailor-made to make his client win. I view him as a stealth bomber. No one sees him coming. He’s the lawyer who drafts the perfect motion at the perfect time. He’s not seeking glory. He’s seeking the win.”

Another former Assistant United States Attorney and Civil Litigator

“Ezra is an amazing civil litigator.  He’s a guy who knows cases and codes and statutes like the back of his hand.  Ezra’s the guy who you want on your side when you’re going into battle.  Ezra’s always the guy with the angle that nobody thought of.  He’s got a really good feel for what’s right in a case for where the law is, and he’s able to find really efficient and effective ways to get great results for clients.  He’s able to connect the dots in a case like no one else.”
